问阅读理解中的一句英语
One salesman in late middle age once expressed his insecurity by scolding me of trying to steal one of his customers这里的steal什么意思?
原文:In Cardiff I was put to work in furniture department at one of the local stores.It was large,fairly out of date,run ( 经营 ),like its parent company in London,by a group of relatives.Being only a member of the store for a short time,I was in a very fortunate position.The others,particularly the older members of the store,were naturally asked to produce good sales figures.I was more of an observer.If I made a sale,I was pleased,but if I didn’t,I would not be blamed.I was really there to observe and learn,and as I had no interest in making a position in the furniture business,I wasn’t too diligent (勤奋) about that either.
One salesman in late middle age once expressed his insecurity (不安全感) by scolding me of trying to steal one of his customers (雇客).Nothing could have been further from the truth,but he demanded that I go to the stockroom (货仓) with him to settle the matter.He was very small and thin,but to my surprise he started dancing about among the carpets and closets working his arms wildly and calling on me to ’put them up’.I couldn’t put anything up ---I was too busy rolling on a four-foot six - inch spring mattress (弹簧垫子) ,helpless with laughter.Finally he saw the joke too,and we went off to the members’ store for a conciliatory(和解)cup of tea.Several days later,I finally left the store.Thank God!
如果你耐心看完的话,顺便说一下第二段作者与那中年人的冲突是什么,最后作者为什么离开.我看不太懂.
我很耐心地看完了...
首先,给你介绍下这篇文章说的是什么:一个年轻人因为有亲戚的关系,在伦敦的一家家具店工作.因为有这层关系,他在里面处在一个很不错的阶层,其他的员工们必须尽可能地去增加销售额,而他不用,能卖出去自然很好,但卖不出去也没人会责怪他.因为他对销售并不是很感兴趣,所以他工作的并不是很努力.
可一次,一个中年员工牢骚说“我”抢他的顾客(注意,实际上“我”和这个中年人都是做销售家具的).steal在这儿就是“抢”的意思.中年男人不满,于是决定和我解决这件事,我们去了仓库...后来我们和解了.几天后,我离开了那个店.谢天谢地!
ok,翻译加解释完毕,不懂的话继续问...
